Indian men’s cricket team captain Shubman Gill is on fire with the bat these days. In four matches played so far against the English team, with the help of four centuries, he has amassed a total of 722 runs. The 25-year-old right-handed batter from Punjab would like to maintain his red-hot form with the bat in the fifth India-England Test as well, which is scheduled to take place at The Oval in London, and break multiple batting records. Here’s a look at 13 batting records Gill will have a chance to break at The Oval.
